Background: Annually, approximately 7.6 million individuals experience a new ischemic stroke, and roughly 25% of all ischemic strokes are cardiogenic in origin, carrying a high risk of recurrence, death and disability. To prevent future ischemic strokes, especially in younger individuals, it is crucial to detect and treat direct and indirect cardioembolic sources.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure has proven to be an effective method of reducing the risk of recurrent stroke in patients with embolic stroke of unknown origin (ESUS). One of the most recognized post-procedural complications is the de novo occurrence of supraventricular arrhythmias, mainly atrial fibrillation, in the first three months following PFO closure. Earlier studies reported the incidence to be around 3.

The relationship between left atrial enlargement (LAE) and primary cryptogenic stroke (PCS) remains a mystery. LAE has been proposed to be an independent risk factor of PCS, recurrent ischemic strokes, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and thromboembolism. Our study evaluates the prevalence of LAE among patients with PCS in the absence of atrial fibrillation, unlike previous studies that included atrial fibrillation, in order to isolate LAE as a risk factor.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the short-term efficacy of right-to-left shunt closure in vestibular migraine patients, and compare the efficacy between patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) embolization. Additionally, the study identifies factors related to surgical outcomes.
Methods: Forty-one patients with vestibular migraine and medium to large right-to-left shunts underwent surgery: PFO closure, PAVM embolization, or both.
